Beauty and the Bees (033)
I was fighting goosebump that was creeping from my neck down to my spine while photographing this. I get the chills whenever I see bees, both harmless and the-not-so- friendly ones.
I have spheksophobia – that’s wasp phobia. Because years ago I got stung by a wasp and that painful experience I will never ever forget! And because wasps look like bees, hence…takot ako. When I see one, I run like hell away from it!
BUT bees, I find them interesting subjects. Especially if they ‘follow’ my instructions

This little girl has captured my attention while I was relaxing by the pool. That was during my recent vacation in Thailand. I was there, lazily iPading when suddenly I hear her mother’s voice, counting. So I begin to talk to mom. She says they agreed she’ll come out the pool when she reaches…

Although it was partially cloudy, it was still extremely hot for me back in October 1, 2011 when we visited Khao Takiab in Hua-Hin Thailand. Khao Takiab also means chopstick hill. I took this photo up the hill where both Chinese and Thai religious objects are located. This obviously is part of the Chinese display.…

Join us at LITRATONGPINOY.COM Kulay Rosas. Rosas. Bulaklak na kulay rosas ang ninais kong ipamahagi sa aking LP entry ngayong Huwebes. Dahilan sa hindi pa rin matapos-tapos ang aming winter ay wala akong mahanap na rosas na bulaklak sa aming paligid, maliban na lang sa mga flower shops. Subalit ang bulaklak na ito ay hindi…

Mga ganitong istilo ng mga gusali ang nakakatawag pansin naman po talaga! Or at least talagang napansin ko. Kakaiba naman kasi. Kahit pa halatang renovated na ito, ganunpaman ay hinayaan nilang maipakita ang orihinal na mga bintanang pula sa gitna. Napansin nyo ba agad ang kaibahan nito? Hindi ko pa itong nakita na nakasara pero…

Join us at Litratong Pinoy .Com MaINGAY. Ako. Ay. MaINGAY! Sa aming lugar ay napakatahimik! Sa sobrang tahimik ay masakit sa tenga. Hindi po ako nagbibiro. Hindi rin eksaherasyon. Kaya naman lalo na sa gabi, ang aking aso na si Charlie na sa silong bahay natutulog ay dinig na dinig ko ang kanyang pagkakamot, pagbuntung-hininga…

click to enlarge I found this photo from my 2008 files. This was shot at Bangkok’s Pratunam Market. I took this shot not because I thought the dog was cute but on the contrary, I was pissed off at its owner. Not only that the dog was dyed with colors but to add insult and…
